KNOW YOUR NEWS CARRIER

February 08, 1996|The Morning Call

Managing her Morning Call route is a breeze for Krystie Bock. A sophomore at Whitehall High School, she has been treasurer of the Class of 1998 for 16 months. "I was my whole freshman year and this year," she said.

"This is a very wealthy class," she continued. "We have over $11,000 and it's only our second year."

The source of all this wealth was two fund-raisers. "The first time, we sold Easter cards and cheesecake. Most recently, we sold Christmas wrapping paper and Christmas candy in Christmas tins," she said.

Bock is also left back on the varsity field hockey team and a member of the German and Outing clubs. "It's new this year," she said of the Outing Club. "You go hiking, camping and white water rafting."

The carrier also swims for recreation and may go out for a team next year.

An avid reader, Bock likes "all kinds of books, like adventure and not really mushy love stories ... I like to read medical books, too, about diseases."

A Call carrier for the past five months, it takes her about 15 minutes to complete delivery to 43 daily or 54 Sunday subscribers in Hokendauqua.

Her parents, Kay and William Bock, help by providing transportation. She is saving part of her Call profits to buy a car and pay for insurance.

For her first month of reliable service, Bock recently received a Morning Call T-shirt.
